I was out the door before the car even came to a stop. I raced to the passenger's side and pulled the door open. Alice was in my arms. I could feel her sparks travel through my body as I pulled her tighter into my arms. I feel her scent warm me inside as the feeling of euphoria sent me into a drunken state.

"Promise me this will never, never happen again."

She turned her head which caused her hair to brush under my nose. She was perfect. Her smell was intoxicating and I was loving it. I listened to her words and knew she needed my reassurance.

She left little electrical impulses running down my neck from the kisses she was giving and then tried to back away. Oh, that wasn't happening. I wanted to remain drunk forever. I picked her up and held her close to me. I looked into her golden eyes and whispered sweetly. "I'm not going anywhere ever again without you by my side. The last few hours were torture.

"Well as long as I am not treated as a helpless child we shouldn't have any problems."

"No, not a helpless child, just one that needs a good punishment for being so sneaky. Are you naturally this stubborn or did someone teach you?" I turned my head just a little in Edward's direction.

I heard a small growl and looked back nose to nose with my angel. I leaned in and took a deep breath. I filled my lungs with her sweet smell and then crashed my lips against hers.

"Are you too ever going to stop?" He had been as polite as I had seen in a while. I could feel the slight annoyance but he was trying.

I decided the question deserved an answer that would make the men groan and my woman sigh. I wanted her scent to wash down into my lungs once more before we were forced apart. "Never, I want to do this forever and even longer."

I got my reaction. The men did one of those half-growl, half-groan noises that I knew had been accompanied by a roll of the eyes. Bella's reaction was something I wasn't prepared for.

"Oh, don't stop on our behalf." She's a little exhibitionist.

I didn't want to stop enjoying my bliss but I knew that we had a lot to talk about and plan. I hoped that whatever Alice was doing that it was worth doing. As a military man, if her plan wasn't flawless like her I wasn't going to approve it. She had to know that I wasn't the type to sit back and take orders. I was the one how gave them.

I broke away from her except that I left one arm wrapped around her shoulders. She was so petite that there was no way of putting it around her waist. I leaned in and kissed her on the top of her head, stopping for a moment to pull her arousing scent into my body. She was my beautiful drug. I was hooked and never wanted to be let loose.

We arrived in the living room and I sat in the same chair as earlier. I pulled Alice onto my lap. Boy, that was a bad idea. Her perfectly round bottom landed on a certain area that didn't, no, shouldn't, have any attention at the moment.

I suppressed a groan. I hear Edward allow his to escape and turn to glare at me. Kiss off, you've been in this situation before. And BTW, stay out of my head. That was starting to get annoying. Read your wife's thoughts for a while.

"Wish I could." Edward grumbled.

That was something that needed to be explored. Marcus and his powers would be interesting to see against Bella's.

"Edward, you and Bella will be working with Emmett on tracking the people Rose has been in contact with. Bella shield them both, although I know I don't even need to tell you that…Edward you and Emmett are not to confront anyone. Simply locate and listen; we need to find out who is behind Roses blackouts, Jasper and myself will be heading to visit Demetri…the asshole owes me a favor and I plan on cashing in. Tanya I know you hate babysitting so I wont ask you to stay here; go with Edward and Emmett…it actually would probably be easier if you broke off into teams of two but stay close to each other and everyone leave their damn cell phones on."

Alice wanted control of the room. She truly thought that Edward and I would allow this. Well, at least she would be under my watch. Nothing could happen to her. She wanted control and thought she had the plan of the hour. There was one problem. Demetri would be my contact not hers.

"We'll meet up at the old historic house that used to be Bella's when she was human. No one will be there at this ungodly hour so go through Bella's old bedroom window; they still don't lock that damn thing. Again, no one do anything until we compare information; we'll decide from there what to do. Emmett do you have that phone with the numbers?"

"Yes."

"I want you all to cover that entire contact list…or at least the one's in the area…if they are not in the area find out what you can on them; do not get caught I do not want to have to save your asses."

Bella's rolled her eyes in an amusing fashion and her laugh wasn't as musical as Alice's but her point was clear. Edward was looking curiously at Emmett and I wanted to know what the hell Emmett had been hiding.

Tanya, the woman I thought was comatose in every way, was practically bouncing in her seat. Her emotions were on a constant circle of hyperactivity and agitation. She wanted in and was being giving her chance.

I glanced over at Edward. He caught my look and shifted his eyes back in Emmett's direction. I focused on Emmett as the change happened. He was looking back and forth between Edward and I. His emotions which were normally neutral in nature were different. He was guarded and on edge. He was wound up and ready to come out swinging. He had an uneasy and waiting type of feeling.

"Alice, love. What the fuck are you talking about? What does Rose's cell phone have to do with anything?" I asked softly to her. I looked at Emmett. "And what the hell have you and Rose been up to?"

"Roses cell phone has contact's…you do know what a contact list is right? Well it's the list of people she has been keeping in touch with. Someone in that list of people, you know…the contact list, has a little bit more control over Rose than we completely understood at first…and now we are going to find out who that is and I personally plan to make them suffer."

Alice's "dumbing down" speech was a slap in the face for me. Oh, I knew what a contact list was and I was sure she would like a look at mine. She thinks Demetri owes her one. That man is one of the first on my list. He is the enemy but we have a mutual goal when it came to this war. Make it stop. No winners and no losers. Just stop.

Alice turned back to Emmett. I could feel the emotions flooding off him. He was more guarded than before. He was hiding something. I had seen and felt this in him before. I looked at Edward. He was watching Emmett too but with the creases in his forehead I knew Emmett was holding him out somehow. Damn, I would have to learn that.

"Emmett its okay, you can trust us." Alice's voice was soothing and reassuring. She knew what was going on. She understood why he was being this way.

"Someone is cont......Rose is unwell. She has been for a long time. Someone out there knows why. They are on the phone. I've caught her on the phone with someone and have never been able to find out who. She would never tell me. I want to know who."

I had caught his slip. Someone is controlling. Has everything Rose done be against her will? Was the war caused by some puppet master pulling strings behind the curtains? If I could manipulate people by using their emotions, was it possible someone had the control to make a person do physical things to harm others and not be able to stop it? I needed to think and work on this.

"How long, Em?" I asked.

"A long time." He answered. His words were guarded, cryptic. He didn't trust us.

I looked cautiously at Edward. He shifted his eyes and narrowed them as he looked in my direction. He turned back to Emmett. "Emmett, do you have a way to narrow down the list in her phone? Surely there are some people that we can exclude…maybe old contacts that are dead or haven't been seen or heard from since before the war?"

"Yea, but there is still like fifty different people; I haven't even had a chance to go through her entire phone list. Maybe Bella could sit down and help me with that while everyone gets ready to go?"

What a minute? Full, non-cryptic answer. He and Rosalie were paired with me. They weren't happy about it. We were coming after their family. If Rosalie has been controlled all this time. Fuck, he doesn't trust me. He thinks I'm the one.

I looked around the room and saw Edward's eyes watching me. Edward, stay the fuck out of my head.

"Hey we should all get ready. Tanya, do you still have that outfit I gave you?"

I silently hoped that Alice and the rest knew that I couldn't ever be a master of criminals to do that to anyone. I didn't want them to think that I was.....I can't even fathom the words. I need to find a way. Telling Emmett won't do any good. If he suspects me, he's not going to believe anything I say.

"....I've been working on it for awhile, and Emmett, you have clothes in the closet."

Alice slowly stood up, giving me full view of her perfect bottom that had caused me issues earlier. Her hand remained on mine. I was getting use to the impulses that continued to connect us. I turned my hand so she and I could wrap our fingers connecting us further. At least she trusted me.

She lead me upstairs to her room. Never once did our body break contact. I entered and found the room overwhelming. It was perfect like her and every particle of atmosphere in the room screamed her name, her smell. Her perfection.

I followed her as she walked to the closet. I looked over her short spiky hair as she opened the door to her closet. Shit, it's larger than her room. She pulled us in and reached in amongst the millions of clothes. The smell of her sweet scent was so much stronger in her. I was getting weak in the knees.

I pulled her arm and spun her around. I caught her around the waist and lifted her so she was straddled on my hips. God, perfection. Her eyes reflected my own. I was drunk with passion and need. I could see it as much as I could feel it.

I pulled her as close to me as our bodies would allow and nibbled from the small hollow of her neck up to her chin. I breathed in deeply as I went. My hands traveled around her back, stopping on her hips and I pulled her sweet center hard against mine.

"Jasper, someone might hear us." Her voice was thick with want and desire. She wanted this as much as I did.

I knew this wasn't the time or place but as her lips enveloped my ear lobe and pulled on it, I just couldn't think straight.

"I don't care, Alice.....god, I want you.....I want them all to know how much I love you." My voice was rough and animalistic. I hadn't felt like this in so many years. No, I had never felt the pull towards anyone ever before in my existence as I was feeling now.

I needed to control this. I needed to control the emotions that she was stirring up in me. They were like a bomb ticking down to zero. I had to force it down, hold it in place.

I ran my hands up her hips, across her waist, over her ribs and wrapped her in my arms. My hands continued to run up her back and into her hair. I tightened my grip and gently, slowly pulled her head back, exposing her neck to me. I leaned in and ran my tongue from her chin, down to her collarbone and nipped just enough to feel her jump under my touch.

My tongue and lips continued on their excursion of exploration. I found myself annoyed by the amount of clothing my angel was wearing. Just as I was about to help her be rid of the nuisance, she took my control away. My shirt that she had been fiddling with was ripped from my body.

The fabric was carried on the mushroom cloud that had escaped my body. I knew that it would snake through the house affecting everything within range. I needed to stop. I couldn't put anyone in that position.

"Alice....baby....angel.....we have.....to....stop....oh, god...." I forced myself to pull back. This wasn't what I wanted but what I had to do. I pulled in a large amount of air, her scent filling my already oversensitive lungs, and held my breath. I needed to clear my head.

There was a knock at the door. "Are you two dressed yet?"

"We'll be down in a minute, Tanya." Something in her voice was different from her feelings. She had forced the enthusiasm. She was irritated.

I followed her further into the closet as she let out a exasperated sigh. I wondered what was wrong with her. Something was definitely not right. I caught the clothes and smile she tossed in my direction. She had found them fairly quickly. She knew this closet inside and out. I was sure of it.

Alice made a move for the door. I was pretty sure I knew what was bothering her and I needed her to understand. As she went to move past me, I slid my hand around her upper arm. I pulled her gently so her back was against my chest. I leaned in and let out the breath I had been holding. I took a deep breath in again and felt her essence flow throughout me.

I whispered so quiet in her ear. I didn't want anyone to know too much about my ability. Not yet. "Angel, we'll talk more in the car but anytime I push you away in these type of situations....don't ever think it's because I don't want you.....I will always want you, mind, body and anything else you want to give me. I'll explain it better when it's just us."

I kissed the small area behind her ear and let her go. She didn't say anything, she didn't even look at me but I could see in her walk that she knew how I felt about her.
